mikehende Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 When you purchase any laptop and you see the specs say 3 or 4 hours e.t.c of total battery life before having to recharge, I am wondering if you can use a "replacement" battery that will give longer life, is this possible? Or, what else can be done to get "more" hours out of your battery? Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted April 13, 2005 FPCH Admin Posted April 13, 2005 You can buy replacements. The laptop we have will only last 2 hours on a full charge. It's always best to have a spare. One to work with and one on the charger. Don't let the rating fool you. No battery will last for more than 3 hours of extended use. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
mikehende Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 Hmnn, then this doesn't make sense for me to get a replacement battery Bob as I use a laptop to remotely control my DJ software on my Desktop pc, this means that when the Battery runs out, I will have to shut down the pc, take out the screw, put in the new battery, replace the cover and screw, then start up windows again, this all will take too much time, also, even if I were to put in the new battery, I would only get another 2-3 hours or so and the one I've taken out will need at least 6 hours to recharge, so I can't use that one when the current one runs out, appreciate the info.
